In the aftermath of war, achieving peace becomes a communal effort. This comes to the fore in Joao Viana’s unique, tri-colour world portrayed in The Battle of Tabato, showing in competition at the 2013 Durban International Film Festival. Shot entirely in black and white, the film is set in the actual village of Tabato in Guinea Bissau and is spiced with local music.
